Our Grade 2 titanium seamless tubes are built for the toughest marine environments. Made from commercially pure titanium, these tubes are all about corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and reliability. They’re lightweight—40% lighter than stainless steel—and form a natural oxide layer that laughs in the face of saltwater, chlorides, and harsh marine conditions. With a tensile strength of 345-450 MPa, they’re strong enough for demanding applications but ductile enough for easy fabrication.
We craft these tubes using seamless processes like extrusion, ensuring a uniform structure that handles high-pressure systems without a hitch. They meet ASTM B338 and ASME SB338 standards, so you know they’re top quality. Whether you need small-diameter tubes for heat exchangers or larger ones for shipbuilding, we can customize sizes, wall thicknesses, and finishes to fit your project perfectly. Our Grade 2 titanium seamless tubes are your go-to for marine durability and performance.

Grade 2 titanium is a superstar for marine use because it’s practically immune to corrosion. Seawater, salty air, and chemical exposure? No problem. The protective oxide layer keeps our tubes rust-free, even after years of exposure. They’re also lightweight, which is a big deal for marine applications where weight savings translate to better fuel efficiency and lower operating costs.
These tubes strike a perfect balance of strength and formability. They’re tough enough for structural components but easy to weld and shape, making them versatile for everything from piping to condenser tubes. Plus, they hold up in temperatures from -253°C to 400°C, so they’re reliable in the extreme conditions of marine environments, from icy waters to tropical seas.
